Accommodation was fine, the place is OK. But we did not like at all how they played very dishonest with food: very overpriced and it is not even good quality. We would recommend to come here for a stay, but NOT for food. There are nice places to eat around and with better price/quality.

We had an enchanting stay at Country Retreat! Much had to do with the wonderful hosts, Yen and Pete and their attentiveness to their guests and their retreat!The property is truly beautiful, with an amazing view of the mountains, wonderful sunsets and a gorgeous rice field behind it.Every meal we had here was beautifully crafted by Yen and mostly from her garden! And many great cocktails from Pete’s bar!The bungalows are comfortable and very nice!There is much to do around, and Pete even has a map with all of his recommendations!We rented bikes and explored the neighboring areas!We highly recommend to any travelers looking for an escape from a city stay!

Review:Thanks Peter and Yin for everything you did for me. I’m doing much better.My recent stay at this enchanting country retreat in Chiang Mai was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in a sense of peace and serenity that stayed with me throughout my entire stay.Peter and Yin, the owners of this hidden gem, are the heart and soul of the retreat. Their warmth and hospitality made me feel like a cherished guest from the moment I stepped foot on the property. From sharing stories over freshly brewed coffee or a glass of beer with a cube of ice to offering invaluable insights into the local culture, their presence added an extra layer of charm to my experience.The accommodation, from the cozy traditional Thai bungalows to the elegant villas, was both comfortable and charming. Waking up to the sound of birdsong, frogs and the gentle rustle of the breeze, I felt a sense of connection to the natural beauty that surrounded me.One of the highlights of my stay was the culinary experience. Each meal, crafted with love and care by Yin herself, was a true delight for the senses. From fragrant curries bursting with flavor to fresh serving of refreshing fruits that melted in my mouth.Each ingredient pick at the Sunday French produce market. A must do !But perhaps what struck me most about this retreat was its commitment to sustainability and eco-conscious practices. Peter and Yin's passion for preserving the environment was evident in every aspect of the retreat, from the organic gardens to the use of renewable energy. It was inspiring to see how luxury and sustainability could come together in such a harmonious way.As I reluctantly said goodbye to Peter, Yin, and this slice of paradise, I left with a heart full of gratitude and memories that I will treasure for a lifetime. If you're seeking a truly authentic and unforgettable experience in Chiang Mai, look no further than this country retreat. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

We booked at Country Retreat on the advice of a friend... and it was even better than we expected. Everything came together to make us feel good there... the setting, the calm, the cleanliness, the cuisine prepared with talent by Ying, a warm welcome... friendly conversations with humor... we could have stayed there longer long time... in short we highly recommend!!!! ...

We had the most amazing stay here, super peaceful, surrounded by nature.Our room was incredible, situated right out the way of everyone else with a great view across the Rice Paddies.The hosts were lovely, happy to help anytime. The food at the restaurant was delicious. We have spent 6 months in Thailand, and I ate the best Massaman Curry here.Bikes available to hire at a reasonable price, WiFi was really quick.Overall, it was a fantastic stay. If we return to the Chaing Mai area, we will definitely be looking to return here.I should also mention we came here in February, we had amazing weather and no issues with regards to the burning season.

Very nice experience, hotel located in the middle of the rice fields. It is a haven of peace, with very clean and spacious bungalows. The pool house and swimming pool area are pleasant and environmentally friendly. At night, the sound of crickets and birds immerses you in a peaceful atmosphere. I highly recommend, located 15 minutes from the elephant sanctuary and 40 minutes from the sticky waterfall. Possibility to rent bikes and scooters.

Beautiful, quiet place to stay in Mae Rim. It's around an hour to Chiang Mai downtown, but if you're looking for a relaxed and nature-filled accommodation, consider this place. Friendly owners and good food at the restaurant. You can also rent bikes to explore the area - and don't hesitate to greet the locals with a smile. You'll also find them greet you first. It's the charm of Chiang Mai people that I really love.

A brilliantly located small hotel run by Pete and Ying. We visited in July and it was very hot and the pool was a great asset. The staff is very friendly and Ying, who does all the cooking, is an excellent chef.We went to see all the waterfalls nearby. That is reccommendable.We went with our two daugters (age 6 and 7) and we stayed in the 2 bedroom villa which was very nice.All the best recommendations for this place.

An incredible, special experience! I stayed here solo for a writing retreat and woke up everyday to a beautiful rice paddy outside my window. Ying and Pete are really nice and helpful — Ying gave me a tour of her plants, and they helped arrange an elephant sanctuary tour last minute. I’m excited to come back again.One note is that this place is pretty remote and it’s hard to get cabs into the city, but they have a friendly staff driver on hand that you can pay for a ride in. This place is amazing though if you want a nature retreat with plenty else to do nearby — waterfalls, elephants, and an erotic garden (must see!!) a 15 min walk away.

The location is suitable. Surrounding are rice fields and the weather is good. Accommodation is made in the style of houses. Counting it down, it looks like there aren't more than 10 houses. The house is not crowded, the room is clean, the bed is big, the air conditioner is cold, the view of the pond is beautiful, you can see the rice fields. Came when the rice had already been harvested and it was beautiful in a different way. The food was delicious, but a little slow, so you had to order in advance. that is next to the houses of the villagers in that area Sometimes at night you may hear the sound of dogs and feel annoyed. There are bicycles and motorbikes available. The location in Mae Rim is a bit deep, but the road is convenient, paved all along the line.
